In modern France, Savoy is part of the [[Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes]] region. Following its annexation to France in 1860, the territory of Savoy was divided administratively into two separate [[Departments of France|departments]], [[Savoie]] and [[Haute-Savoie]].

The traditional capital remains [[Chambéry]] (in [[Italian language|Italian]], ''Ciamberì'', from [[Latin]] ''Camberia'') on the rivers [[Leysse]] and [[Albane]], hosting the [[castle]] of the House of Savoy and the Savoyard [[senate]]. The state included six districts:
* Savoie Propre, sometimes known as Ducal Savoy (capital Chambéry)
* [[Chablais]] (capital [[Thonon-les-Bains]])
* [[Faucigny]] (capital [[Bonneville, Haute-Savoie|Bonneville]])
* [[Moûtiers|Tarentaise]] (capital [[Moûtiers, Savoie|Moûtiers]])
* [[Maurienne]] (capital [[Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne]])
* [[Genevois (province)|Genevois]] (capital [[Annecy]])

The County and Duchy of Savoy incorporated [[Turin]] and other territories in [[Piedmont]], a region in northwestern Italy that borders Savoy, which were also possessions of the House of Savoy. The capital of the Duchy remained at the traditional Savoyard capital of [[Chambéry]] until 1563, when it was moved to Turin.
